Maymont XC Festival Report
Saturday, September 27thby Lee Dick
RICHMOND, VA -- At the Maymont Cross Country Festival, Steven Walters took the Varsity A race with a time of 16:27, but J.R. Tucker sophomore Michael Chapa was hot on his heels the whole race and only in the final 200 meters Walters poured it on to open a slight 4 second gap. In the girls A vasity race, Western Albemarle senior Jessica Fanning capped a win over Forest Park's Beth Fahey who finished second. Teamwise, J.R. Tucker upset Forest Park and Maggie Walker, while Western Albemarle took the A Varsity as expected. If Walters time seems slow, it was a tough course, a long ¾ mile climb on mile 2 and then at the start of the last ½ mile, a shorter but very steep climb which separated the wheat from the chaff.
